What is Business Continuity?
Business Continuity is really about Business Survival. It is about how your business could continue to trade through an unforeseen disaster such as a fire, extended loss of power or a flood.
Imagine for one moment your business, all the time and resources you have invested in it, all the loyal employees you have trained, all the customers and suppliers with whom you have a long standing relationship, all the years of information stored in your premises. Then one day disaster strikes!!!
How do your customers contact you to buy more, (they need to keep their business going), how do you contact your suppliers to order essential materials, where do your staff go to work everyday? Almost overnight you would lose your customers to your competitors whoc are still operating normally, your suppliers can’t contact you to make deliveries and suddenly your cashflow all but disappears along with your profits.
How would you cope?
